Inventor – American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002)
She watched her daughter at play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles.
Handlers were on a European trip, Ruth Handler saw the German Bild Lilli Doll (which was not meant for children at all; rather a gag gift for adults) in a Swiss shop and bought it. It was an example for Barbie.
Barbie was named so in honor of her daughter Barbara, Ken - in honor of her son Kenneth
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess that the first original doll came as a long-haired blond.
